  • Ensure adherence to quality processes and requirements for assigned documents, contributing to the development of best practices and methods for optimal outcomes.
  • Support program management activities, identifying and addressing out-of-scope tasks, which may include developing timelines, budgets, forecasts, and contract modifications.
  • Represent the department in project launch meetings, review sessions, and project team discussions.

Qualifications:

A Bachelor's degree in a scientific discipline or equivalent relevant qualification is required; an advanced degree is preferred.

Prior experience that equips you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform this role (approximately 5+ years) is essential.

Experience in the pharmaceutical or CRO industry is preferred, along with familiarity with FSPs.

Skills and Competencies:

  • Exceptional data interpretation and medical writing abilities, including grammatical, editorial, and proofreading skills.
  • Strong project management capabilities.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, including problem-solving and negotiation.
  • Outstanding oral and written communication skills, complemented by strong presentation abilities.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of global, regional, national, and other document development guidelines.
  • In-depth expertise in a specialty area such as preclinical, therapeutic, or regulatory submissions.
  • Sound judgment and decision-making skills.
  • Proficient computer skills, including familiarity with client templates and document management systems (e.g., Excel, Outlook).
